Reminiscing, my mind's tongue savors it today. I wonder what made it taste so good that way. Could it be that custardy layer near the top? Every time I start to think of it, I can't stop! Perhaps, it was the browning of the skin? Underneath, was it the rice-filled heart within? Dare I find a recipe and try to make it? Do you think, Mom's secret, I can only fake it? I just need a phone booth and a dime. Next, her number in the sky or a ladder I can climb. Good heavens! I cede another memory to time.
